Ray Bradbury, a pal of The Planetary…

Ray Bradbury was a pal to The Planetary Society. He often dreamt of the long run and journey between planets, most significantly Mars. He organize a gift to be launched to the composer of a bit of classical music that celebrates the landing of the first individuals on Mars.

His tales have been cautionary, warning us of the dangers of a authorities unchecked. He reminded us all the importance of the written phrase: the power of prose and poetry. For me, Fahrenheit 451 was regarding the freedom of speech and the problem a society can get into with a paranoid administration and complacent citizenry. Alongside that line, The Martian Chronicles have been, for me, regarding the dangers of taking points with no consideration, of not being vigilant, and of not collaborating in your neighborhood.

I met Mr. Bradbury as soon as I attended his play Greentown. It was a dangling work about life, dying, and our place throughout the universe — and Mr. Bradbury was seeing it produced for the first time. He was delighted; all of us have been. He would possibly inform a story and go away you questioning so much, so plenty of your private picks in life. That’s not solely a gift or experience; it reveals the deep thought and work he put in to make his tales not merely good, nevertheless good. And so, Ray’s tales have stood the check out of time.

Thanks, Ray; you modified the world. On the Planetary Society we’ll do our biggest to see to it that your wishes and hopes of exploring the distant areas of the Picture voltaic System, Mars significantly, are saved alive.
